[PATCH v5 00/12] libtracefs dynamic events support

["Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)" <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com>]

The libtracefs logic that works with ftrace dynamic events is unified
and capsulated into a new set of dynamic events APIs. This change makes
the code more consistent and reusable. Also, adding future libtracefs
support for uprobes and eprobes dynamic events is simplified.
The existing library APIs for kprobes and synthetic events are
reimplemented using the new dynamic events helpers.

This patch sets depends on "[PATCH v2 0/4] Modifications of some 'hist' APIs":

v5 changes:
 - Improved parsing of dynamic events files - added ' \t' as delimiter.
 - Added TRACEFS_DYNEVENT_UNKNOWN in dynamic events enum, which is used as
   error return by the APIsi.
 - Renamed and moved tracefs_kprobe_info() to tracefs_dynevent_info(), as
   the API is more generic and not kprobe specific.
 - Added unit tests for synthetic events APIs.
 - Fixed bugs in synthetic events APIs, related to dynamic events.
 - Coding style fixes.
 - Man pages clean ups.

v4 changes:
 - Redefined the dynamic events enum, so the items can be used in a bitmask.
 - Reimplement the logic for parsing dynamic event strings from ftrace files.
 - Coding style fixes.
 - Added more comments.

v3 changes:
 - Exposed dynamic events API as official tracefs APIs.
 - Removed kprobe specific APIs, that duplicate corresponding dynamic events
   APIs.
 - Updated unit tests and man pages with the new dynamic events APIs.
 - Fixed typos, found by Yordan. 

v2 changes:
 - Removed triple pointer from the APIs.
 - Reimplement dynamic events parsing using strtok_r instead of strchr.
 - Coding style fixes.
